The other day I was working at my school, trying to get a head start on setting up my classroom for September. I was removing old bulletin boards and posters, and in the process of pulling countless staples out from the wall, it occurred to me that I had no idea who invented the stapler. It's one of those things that we use all of the time, but its origin is mysterious. I was fairly confident that cavemen didn't bang one out of stone in between discovering fire and hunting gazelles, but it does seem like staplers have always been. Thankfully, About.Com's Early Office Musuem offers some insight into the history of staplers. Unlike how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop, the world will know the answer to this question.
